The Cat! thread is now open for business. Come one, come all; all cats and cameras welcome. NO criticism allowed, only nice comments ;-)))

Add your favourite cat shot to the collection. No time limits, taken any time, any place, any camera.

We have had cool cats and hot cats; Canonical cats and Olympian cats; African cats and American cats.

There have been Meerkats and mere cats; moggies and high class cats; almost cats and some that I suspect were not really cats at all (specially the one with horns and the other one with scales ... ; the one that lived in the water, and that ring-tailed cat that was lost ... ); inside cats and
OUTSIDE
cats;
BIG
cats and -little- cats.

And even these highly suspect looking cats (Courtesy of Ben Herrmann):

Anyone caught peeping at the EXIF data for camera makes and models will be given a flogging with a cat-of-nine-tails ...

AND BTW folks:

The Sunday Cat will now (mostly) start when it is still Saturday in the rest of the world, Australia being GMT +10 hours ... So it is still only around noon "last" Saturday in Hawaii (just for example ... ).

AND I really did
not
mean what I said about the flogging with a cat-of-nine-tails.

Here in Oz, we believe in the Rule of Law, so what I meant to say was that anyone caught peeping at the EXIF data will be flogged, found guilty, and given a fair trial - in that order ...

And of course it is OK to criticise if the poster specifically asks for it; otherwise the above-mentioned rule applies ...

And it is OK to mention what camera and lens you took the shot with ... if you like.

Love the Cat! thread ... like our beloved companion animals, an opportunity for a romp in the sun, with none of that
bad
stuff about ...

Regards, john from Melbourne, Australia.
